Timeful

Timeful for iPhone first time user experience

The good bits:

  • Timely’s intro tour is simple and clearly shows the UI instead of using abstract imagery

To be improved:

  • The forced intro tour doesn’t have a clear skip action; the forward arrow is disabled while animations play.
  •  The app forces a user to create an account before he can move forward. This can be a hard sell for a user who already has a calendar on his phone. The app could consider demoing its capabilities by simply asking to access the calendar first, letting the user try it out before he has to worry about tethering his calendar data to an external account.
